    My mother-in-law plucked this flower from a vine at her neighbor's house. The petals of the flower are very rubbery and the very center is hard like a seed. I would love to know what type of plant this is, and if I could propagate it from a clipping. Here are the best pictures, for some reason my camera had a hard time focusing on the flower.

    thanks so much that is exactly what it is. I've found a bunch of information and will hopefully be adding them to my garden.

    I want to share my photos too. I last visited to the site in July and to say the least I was a bit excited. I had a hoya root and a grow a flower, the first I had ever seen, in a crystal vase!
